Abstract

An optical disc in a sample servo format applicable to high density recording in which a control track area is formed without reducing format efficiency of a rewritable track area and an optical disc device that can read out control information in a short time with a simple circuit configuration are provided. For this purpose, in the optical disc, a space of a predetermined length where emboss prepits do not exist is arranged for each segment in the control track area, following a data area where control data are recorded by emboss prepits as a clock mark, wobble marks and an address mark.
